To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I,'W1LL1AM (J. PEEL, of Springfield, Clarke county,Ohio, have in vented certain Improvements in the Method of PuttingMolding on the Dashes of Vehicles, of which the following is aspecification:

' The object of my invention is to devise an.

swell, B. The molding O is slipped on over this swell, which issuflicient to retain the molding in its place without either bead orcore; and the retaining-screws D are then put in, to prevent its beingdrawn off at either end, and to make a finish.

The advantages of this method are: It saves the cost of stitching, or ofa core, and is much more handsome inappearance.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is 1. A dash-cover madeof one piece of leather, or other suitable material, doubled across thecenter, or therealoout, and having a metal molding slipped over theswell produced by said doubling, substantially as set forth.

2. The combination of the molding O, the dash A, the swell B, andretaining-screws D.
